caramel

Post navigation

So, after making the chai syrup I got hooked on making stuff you usually just buy in the store. Today I tried to make regular caramel sauce that is super delicious in both coffee and on cakes. Heck, I bet someone would find it delicious on bread. And the best of all, it’s super easy, and you don’t need any special ingredients; sugar, heavy whipping cream, butter, and optionally vanilla and a pinch of salt.

I skipped the two last ingredients, but I think I will make a small patch with them the next time.
First off you start with mixing all the ingredients over medium-low to medium heat. Keep stirring until all the butter has melted, before you turn up the heat to medium and have the sauce come to a boil (simmer). Let it simmer for 5-8 minutes, depending on how thick you want the sauce to be.

Let it cool down for a little bit, before you either serve it hot or pour it into a container. Keep it refrigerated when you store it, so it will last longer. This because it has cream in it, and will expire faster in the heat.

Now you have a delicious patch of caramel sauce that only has 3 (or 5) ingredients!
